7 Months without my son, as of yesterday, seems so surreal. I have my grandsons all weekend, so they've kept me busy, taking care of them, but the pain is still deep and unending. I was scrolling through the pictures on my computer, wishing I ha... Read more

They say it takes two weeks to establish a new habit. I have to say, I find myself back in that routine of working out and counting calories. I'm trying to be consistent with my food log, and checking in on FB. It's harder on the days when I hav... Read more

Just returned from the gym with my daughter. I had a very good workout, but it wasn't easy to get through. It's as if I'm only going through the motions. I'm doing what I know I have to do, but there's no burning desire like before when I first ... Read more

I have met many people at the gym over my past 7 years as a member. It's nice to have a chat with other women and discuss what works, or doesn't work for us. I had a very disturbing conversation with a woman who spends hours in the gym everyday,... Read more

I'm reflecting on the past 37 years of my marriage, as we begin year 38, and realize that life has so many twists and turns. I may not be exactly where I thought I would be at this point in my life, but I'm happy, none the less, and would do it ... Read more

I love my time in the gym pumping iron...I am often finding reasons to skip cardio so this week even though spin class is something I've been doing it for 8 years now, I have found that I can motivate myself, and so my own thing when the class i... Read more

I usually take the weekend off, but since I made a resolution to up the cardio, I planned to take spin class this morning. When I got up at 7:00 it was raining, so I rolled back over to go back to sleep until 8:00. Well, I slept through 8:00 but... Read more

Cardio has been an issue for the past few months...love my weight lifting, but cardio since field hockey has ended, is the thing I like least...additionally, on Mon/Tues/Wed my grandsons are here and the 9:00 spin class time is inconvenient....b... Read more
